Dogs have owners, cats have staff.

"Staff" suggests remuneration for services rendered...

In this modern and aware world, "slaves" seems a little risque. And of course, you are remunerated by their presences and willingness to let you give them "schritchies" when they demand it.

Every cat worth its salt will make darn sure that you will never forget that either...

Sara Jane is the tuxedo kitty. Overall she is our biggest kitty, a very solid cat. Trista intimidates Sara and will sneak up and whack her, not too hard but enough to let Sara know who the Boss is.Lol it's become one of her favorite spots. She's probably thinking which has the best FOBA possibilities.
Btw, she's the youngest of the kitties but thinks she's the boss!
It's not necessarily the size of the cat in the fight but often the size of the fight in the cat. They wrestle but that doesn't fit.

Dogs are an integral part of the family. Cats tolerate you in their territory.

It seems that cats consider us as some sort of parents, and they behave towards us as spoiled kids.
This egocentrism may appear as some complex of superiority, but it rather is a "Hey I matter! Feed me, pet me, let me have my way" profile...

This from the Google AI so YMMV
Leading feline behaviorists, such as anthrozoologist John Bradshaw, suggest that cats likely think of humans as giant, clumsy, non-hostile felines. Because cats primarily communicate through scent, body language, and touch, they treat people exactly like fellow cats—they just recognize us as awkwardly large and less capable at catching our own mice.

I absolutely love that as it very very accurate.
My downstairs neighbor has a black cat, an ESA (Emotional Support Animal) called 'Blackie'.
When I come home from work, he's on the front stoop looking empowered and faintly disdainful
when I say hello to him. I don't bother trying to walk up & pet him, he stalks off when I'm a step away.

My young coworker Matt. Very much into online video gaming with his buddies. Minimal ( that's being generous ) knowledge of WWII but does play Battleground, which from his detailed description has games for WW1, WWII and others.
He's studying to be an aerospace engineer. He finds doing maintenance gives him a better understanding of how the real world of nuts and bolts works. This should be a requirement for aspiring engineers in any field.
He actually is a good worker, and a good talker. I know more about King Gizzard and Baldour's Gate then I ever thought I would. He has a passing interest in ASL but not nearly enough to dive in.
He plays guitar also. I got him listening to Zappa. He quite likes Frank.

My calendar. August is the busiest month. Tenants who didn't renew their lease have to be out by August 1st. Classes start on August 24th and all new tenants have to be in by that weekend. Very busy but I quite like it.
